Paul Van Dyk & Paavo Järvi HR Orchestra - For An Angel
One of the many reasons why I love electronic music. A song’s interpretations are endless!
How can one possibly resist the mix of Phoenix with Paris?
Kudos to La Blogotheque pour l’idée extraordinaire.
Where would you go
Where would you go tied up to a lasso?
Could you run into, could you run into
Could you go and run into me?
Wear your real eyes
No, you don’t realize
What you say yes to
But you say yes to
Forever is a long, long time when you’ve lost your way
Forever is a long, long time when you’ve lost your way
- ‘Lasso’ by Phoenix
Where can I go indeed, when I’m all tied up. Scream without being heard, smile without feeling happy, comfort without receiving in return. Where can I go?
Someone Like You - Adele
Everything in this song just hit the right notes, be it the lyrics, the place it was filmed, or her presentation of it. Funny how my time in France was pretty much the same way, coming to terms, recovering, then living again.
We Were In Love - Davichi & T-ara
One of the nicest compositions I’ve heard, despite its heartbreaking lyrics and feel. Probably the kind of song that one places on repeat after a heartbreak.
“We used to love, please don’t make me cry
To me, it’s only you
When I close my eyes, I see you – when I block my ears, I hear you
Please don’t leave me
The person who became a light in my dark life, such a precious person
A day passes and another passes and Iong for you more, even as I sing this song
We used to love, please don’t make me cry
To me, it’s only you
When I close my eyes, I see you – when I block my ears, I hear you
Please don’t leave me
You might come back, because you might return, again today, I wait for you
You don’t know, you don’t know how much I’m hurting, even as I sing this song
We used to love, please don’t make me cry
To me, it’s only you
When I close my eyes, I see you – when I block my ears, I hear you
Please don’t leave me
If I were to chose between you and the world
Even if everything is taken away from me, if it’s you, I’m okay
Day or night, I’m thirsty for love
My unseemly promise to forget you makes me cry again, can you hear me?
The only thing I want from you is you
Without you, I can’t do anything
If you hear this song, please come back, come back
The more I love, the gaunter I get
To me, it’s only you
We use to love, please don’t make me ry
Please don’t leave me
Yeah uh uh, in the end, you turn away and you keep me away
I threw away my pride and like a crazy person, I followed you
But my heart urged me on and told me
Not to lose you, who is the only one in the world
I pretended to smile, pretended to be fine
This is the last song I am singing to you
Please don’t leave me”
- Beethoven’s 5 Secrets - OneRepublic (Cello/Orchestral Cover) as performed by Steven Sharp Nelson and The American Heritage Lyceum Philharmonic (Youth Orchestra).
It’s been so long since I heard a piece that made me feel like dancing and twirling around the room. It’s as though the notes flow through and fill one’s body.
Been encountering so much good music from different genres this week, it’s almost overwhelming. The newest surprise came from #TATW’s episode #415. If you haven’t subscribed to Trance around the World’s podcasts, now’s a good time to start.
This mix is so fluid, the music wraps around you like water, yet it’s light and relaxing like fresh air. Truly blew my mind away with this track. Kudos to the team at Trance Around the World!
Dog Days are Over - Florence + The Machine
Still in love with this tune since hearing it on Covert Affairs a couple years back.
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can’t carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
‘Cause here they come
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
‘Cause here they come
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can’t carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
‘Cause here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Leessang - The Pursuit of Happiness from their album Unplugged
Amidst all the kpop that’s being imported from Korea (they’re good in their own ways), Leessang shows once again exactly what music is supposed to be about.
To place it in Gary’s words, the three things that make up music are “Feel, Soul, My Life”. This song really bears testament to that and I can’t help but be drawn to its lyrics.
Hit ‘Play’ and see if it’s the same for you!
